Ryou's soft side

My shift finnally ended and everyone left. I fixed all the tables that the other mews missed.

I walked into the kitchen. Dirty dishes were everywhere.

'Ughhhh.' I whined. I couldn't just leave this place a mess. I picked up a scrubbing brush and turned on the water. The first dish to scrub was a big mixing bowl. It was crusted with cake mix. Gross.

'How could those guys let this place get so dirty?' I groaned.

'Because they don't do the work.' Ryou appeared behind me. My ears and tail popped out.

'Ryou. You scared me.' I said covering up my ears. He lifted my hands off of them.

'You don't need to hide who you are in here.' He said still holding my hands.

'Yeah, okay.' I stared at him.

'Thanks for helping out around here. But don't you have a home to go to? Won't your mom and dad get worried?' He finnally let go of my hands.

'No. They say I can stay out as long as I want to.' I lied.

'Doesnt sound like any parents I've heard of.' He laughed. I stayed quiet. Ryou looked at me. 'Power? Are you-'

'I'm fine. I mean, I just need to finish up.' I turned toward the big pile of dishes.

'I'll help you.' He said and grabbed an extra scrubbing brush.

'You don't have to.' I told him.

'Well I am. Do you not like having me around?' He stopped scrubbing his plate.

'No it's not that. I just, well, you see-' Ryou put down his brush and dish and grabbed my hands. His face got very close to mine.

Ryou! You- you like me?' I asked him.

'Like I said, I can't keep any secrets from you.' He got closer to me. He let go of my hands and reached around me. I got pulled in to his chest. I could feel his heart beat. It was steady, but I could tell that he was nervous.

'I might like you more then I think I do.' He whispered to me. He reached down to me. I felt the warmth of his body. Then, I felt the warmth of his lips. He set his hands on my back and held me tight. I kissed back. I could feel my cat ears and tail pop out, but I did not not stop kissing him.

'I - love - you.' Ryou breathed out in short breaths.

'I love you to.' I told him, still feeling the kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck.

'Ryou? Are you still here?' Ichigo's voice came from outside the kitchen. I let go of Ryou and he let go of me.

'Oh hey Power. I just need to talk to Ryou for a minute.' Ichigo walked in.

'See you later.' Ryou told me and walked out with Ichigo.
